If I can at least help on stranger on the internet… well, then I have helped one stranger on the internet 😂

Let’s say you want to test a drive that is mounted on /tmp… you just cd into that directory and you can use my example.

You can use

$> df -h or $> mount

to check how your drive is mounted in the OS Most ”default ” installations will have 1-4 partitions and / being partition 3 or 4.

So if you look at the mount command and / is /dev/sdX3 (where X can be a-z depending on how many drives you have connected) and no other mounts are in the output then every directory under / is on that drive… so you can run my example from your home-directory if you fancy that.

The cool thing about rsync is that it goes ”BRRRRRRRRR!” like a warthog… the plane… and it can saturate the receiving drive or array depending on your network and client. And getting 180 with rsync… on a SATA drive, can’t really hope for more.

And you can run a quick n dirty test is using dd

$> dd if=/dev/zero of=1g-testfile bs=1g count=1

If you use scp (cp over ssh) you should see the transfer speed.

Ok, so I have to admit… I skimmed the quote and missed the great wisdom of looking at the past and present… correct me if I’m wrong but didn’t Russia promise not to touch Ukraine if they handed over their nuclear weapons? But sure, things change… holding up one’s end of the deal hasn’t really been on the agenda for Russia, UK, US or most of the “great” nations of the world.

What’s wrong with open source? Or are you referring to my porn consumption?

Oh I feel you… they have made some epic fuckups and the current one unfolding in regards to the conflict I Gaza is really… ‘effed up. But I can hold two thoughts in my head… even though I’m a libturd.

Yeah, you are probably right… looking around everyone seems pretty much lost.

I would rather have the one that presents the claims also back them with verifiable evidence, is that to much of an ask? That is how the scientific method usually works and I can’t see why we can’t apply it in this case.

Oh holy crap… you didn’t waste any ammo there did you now champ…

No, I am fully aware that this war has been raging for a decade… but the annexation of Crimea was as unprovoked as anything else that Putin has done. It’s just that when you 8 years later start to move the goalpost to include “Military Special Operations” and not calling it what it was from the start… well then you got some ‘splainin to do.

Nah, I liked the content that I subscribed to… mostly open source news and porn… what I wasn’t fond of was the hijinks they pulled regarding their API and 3rd party app development.

The claims that Ukraine has planned and financed this horrid attack, the claims Putin himself introduced, hasn’t been verified at all and the Kremlin hasn’t been able to produce a shred of evidence.

A transparent and open dialogue showing the world this alleged evidence would probably shift public opinion, maybe not in supporting Russias claim on a sovereign state but perhaps making other states think twice in supporting Ukraine.

And as to supporting my opinion, I have tried to wade through all the bullshit that everyone is peddling, be it CNN, BBC, NPR, Al Jazera or RT and what everyone seems to agree on is that it is ISIS-K and they were pretty effin’ quick to take on responsibility.

On the contrary, I am a firm believer that war can’t be fought without one bending and bashing one’s morals… with that said, they never asked for this and I am not defending a heinous act of attacking innocent civilians, just the peddling of unverified crap.

Yeah, I am not gonna feel good about myself either way because it’s a horrible attack on innocent civilians… what I am calling bullshit on is that a state sponsored TV station pushes unverified shit that plays right into the hands of an imperialistic state that started a war totally unprovoked.

It would have been a tad easier to believe this if it wasn’t for… well everything

Imma gonna go ahead and call bullshit on this one…

I feel like this was an opportunity to include “Biggie Smalls”…

I am surprised that no one has tried to link this to vaccines yet

Nah, this is probably more related to fact that a bunch of people burnt a book or twelve.
